If we have a 2000kva load,How much kvar capacitors we go to
add to improve the power factor at 0.9?pls give the
calculation and fully theory?

Answer / k.prakashchandra
The existing pf is not given.Use the formula KVA2=KW2+KVAR2
and KW/KVA=pf

Answer / n.sinha
The calculation we follow is :-
(kva)2 = (kw)2 + (kvar)2
and the P.F is given as 0.9,
so, kw = kva * P.F
= 2000 * 0.9
= 1800
And, kvar = {(kva)2 - (kw)2}1/2
= {(4000000) - (3240000)}1/2
= {760000}1/2
= 871.78

Why relay connected R phase and B phase.?
need to make a report. Need to choose a 3phase induction motor. Load conditions motor will operate in : Maximum Load: 30 Kw Speed: 2950 rpm Ambient temp: 20 cent Supply voltage: 440V Frequency: 50Hz need to look for the safety factor when choosing the motor, went through catalouge found a few, but dont know how to choose the safety factor allowing an extra load something above 30 KW to avoid any harm.
in general it is observed in power stations, the tertiary winding is used in higher rating Y-Y auto transformer but not in Y-Y power transformer. is the tertiary winding is compulsory then why it is not using in power transformer
